Dielectric Breakdown of a Mott Insulator
, 2012 We study the nonequilibrium steady state of a Mott insulator coupled to a thermostat and driven by a constant electric field, starting from weak fields, until the dielectric breakdown, and beyond.

Freely flowing currents and electric field expulsion in viscous electronics [PDF]
, 2018 Electronic fluids bring into hydrodynamics a new setting: equipotential flow sources embedded inside the fluid. Here we show that nonlocal relation between current and electric field due to momentum-conserving inter-particle collisions leads to a total ...

TMC4 localizes to multiple taste cell types in the mouse taste papillae
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Transmembrane channel‐like 4 (TMC4), a voltage‐dependent chloride channel, plays a critical role in amiloride‐insensitive salty taste transduction. TMC4 is broadly expressed in all mature taste cell types, suggesting a possible involvement of multiple cell types in this pathway.

Performance limiting effects in X-band accelerators
Physical Review Special Topics. Accelerators and Beams, 2011 Acceleration gradient is a critical parameter for the design of future TeV-scale linear colliders. The major obstacle to higher gradient in room-temperature accelerators is rf breakdown, which is still a very mysterious phenomenon that depends on the ...
